Back in the time Klopp and Mourinho were operating in different leagues, they were kind of buddies. Now, well they still claim to be buddies, but, the difference is that they now don’t mind dishing out a few taunts to each other when they are overseeing the first teams of two rival clubs in the same league.

Some time back, Klopp had said that a few coaches around him believe only in spending cash and bagging the superstars, but, he does not have the same ideology. Klopp was smart enough not to name Mourinho while he took that jab, but, one had to be very, very dumb not to understand whom he was talking about and which superstar he was pointing towards.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick said that he is not worried about his place in the team.

Indeed new Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has brought in a couple of players in the team, and many of them can play in Carrick’s position. However, the midfielder has revealed that he is not scared of competition and that he will have to learn to live with it.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has stated that the Red Devils have the necessary players to win the title.

He said that a team like Manchester United should always be challenging for honors, and he believes that they have the proper ammunitions to win the title this time.

He said that the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager had motivated the players as well as the fans and they believe that this could be their year. Ever since Alex Ferguson has retired from management, Manchester United has not managed to finish better than fourth in the league, but Michael Carrick believes that this will change this year.

Jose Mourinho is one of the most highly rated managers in the world of football as well as successful one as the Portuguese coach after having lifted the Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan, which is something that not many managers have been able to do.

Newly appointed coach, Jose Mourinho says he wants Michael Carrick to remain at the club, shutting down speculations that the midfielder could leave this summer.

Mourinho also said that the player’s contract would be settled in the coming week. The 34-year old defensive midfielder had been left in limbo by United as his current deal ran down until the reaffirmation by the Portuguese tactician.

Jose Mourinho who finally replaced former coach Louis van Gaal, based on the club’s official announcement, has a daunting task ahead of him to set the club back on winning path and qualify for Champions League next season, as that was one of the reasons the Dutch was sacked. Mourinho has already improved United's chances of winning the Premier League title according to the odds available on StanJames.

The goalkeeper is a big favourite of manager Pep Guardiola, who has been in charge of Bayern Munich for the last three years. However, he has revealed his next destination to be Manchester City from the summer. Guardiola will be taking over from Manuel Pellegrini and this will be his first job in English football. City have an extremely competent goalkeeper in the form of Joe Hart, but his performances have not been great of late. He remains an extremely good shot stopper, but Guardiola will look for more ball playing abilities from his goalkeeper.
